Strike The Blood Final (OVA):
A light novel series made by: Gakuto Mikumo, started back in 2011 (till 2023).
Summary: A human/vampire type MC makes his way to become the Lord, by building his own harem.
Narrative: In total of this 4 Episodes, it continued back from Strike The Blood IV where Kojou Encountered the Chief of MRA organisation. As of this point, we've seen our MC Kojou here, sucked nearly all of the supporting/main casting girls already, so all it's left is to use them for the finale. He also used up all of the familiars that we've seen all this time, even if Kojou we're
...
to go out of control, it'll still be predicted that he'll return (especially his "death scene"). You can tell that the romance/relationship between Kojou and Yukina is definitely top tier, just that they dragged it all the way to the Finals and never even confessed. A Cliff hanger I suppose.
Cinematography: Art style is still the same artist all the way back from Strike the Blood I. It's good to see the artist remained, however it would look bad for a 2022 OVA. It's also good to know they remained tonnes of the posses and camera angle from Season 1 (especially Yukina's Ult and the "No Senpai. This is OUR Fight!" Voiceline as the final part).
Characters and Settings: Character design wise, they look quite the unique ones (especially Kasugaya Shizuri). Each character have their own backstories and unique background connecting to the MC's storyboard, which matched well when it comes to harem animes. Settings is of course a fictional location 300KM away from Tokyo
Audio Editing: Have been the same from Strike the Blood IV, not much complaints are done here.
Positive and Negative feelings:
Personally, I really enjoyed the series alot even tho some of the parts are just straight up ecchi stuff with the main character, it definitely showed the bond and the relationship between the MC and the supporting/female side characters. (I have yet to read finish the Manga and Light Novel Ver. Sooooooo I might be quite wrong here)
Despite having those characters there's some negativity I would like to talk about, dragging so long all the way to a FINAL OVA and just stop at a Cliff Hanger is somewhat insane. There are couple of other animes that have long series like this (for example: Date A Live) that did a better job in continuing the storyline in anime instead of stopping it's service and leave fans from anime hanging.
Memorable Moment: The only memorable moment I can think of out from this OVA is litterally the ending between Kojou and Yukina (as a final goodbye to the anime series and it's service).
Rating: 6/10, i tried my best on this one. Like litterally.
